Incredible Luck

We had an incredibly lucky find at our house this year.... or rather, my fiance had an incredibly lucky find. Morels! LOTS of morels, all over our yard!

I'm just lucky in that he doesn't eat mushrooms. They're mine! All mine!! Hehehe....Actually, there were so many (28 of them) that I was able to share with just about everyone who wanted some. Parents, coworkers, friends... all got a taste of the delicious delicate flavor. Mmmmm. And they were so big that just a couple could be considered a whole meal! This was only my second time ever eating morels. They are so delicious, just a little butter and viola!! Even got my anti-mushroom fiance to try them and he said they were "okay". That's saying a lot for him to think a mushroom tastes okay!! Of course my parents and I just moaned with contentment as we sat around devouring the tasty morsels.

We did collect most of them, but we were sure to leave a few to spread spores. Hopefully we'll be this lucky again next year! :)

I'm Bri. I am currently a student in the Landscape Design and Landscape Horticulture programs at Oakland Community College in Michigan. Once I acquire these degrees I plan on furthering my education - Michigan State University, perhaps?

I love visiting greenhouses, botanic gardens, and nurseries, though I try to limit my visits because I can NEVER seem to leave without making a purchase.What better career for me to pursue than one that allows me to be outdoors and to be creative?
